Here. It is a Thursday morning, January thirtieth. 4 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.519 Now we have a sort of a modification going in 5 00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:21.600 because we're waiting for President Trump with a press conference 6 00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:24.559 and we don't know, you know, what time he's coming 7 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.039 in schedule for eight o'clock. You know, the only president 8 00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.440 has ever been i mean on time to the second 9 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:32.719 was George W. 10 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:34.799 Bush, who was tremendous. 11 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.679 Eight o'clock started at eight o'clock. So we'll wait for 12 00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.600 the President to come in and talk about. 13 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.119 What he's going to talk about, because it's. 14 00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.119 Always interesting stuff even though he talks forever. So you know, 15 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.159 so this will go right through the end of Gary 16 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.479 and Shannon in probably half of John and Ken's show 17 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:53.799 this afternoon, so we'll cut out of it at some 18 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.840 point maybe, all right, Joel Larsguard is with us, and Joel, 19 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.439 we're going to interrupt you when this happens. 20 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.359 And Joel is a host of How. 21 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.640 To Money Sunday twelve to two pm is Social Is 22 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:08.280 at How to Money. 23 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.359 Joel, Joel, good morning, morning, Bill. 24 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.799 Okay, let's start right off the bat where we think 25 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:23.680 our savings are keeping up with inflation, are we or 26 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:24.840 are we going south again? 27 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.840 Also, it's interesting there's this new survey from wallet hub 28 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.719 and something like two thirds of people said, I don't 29 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.879 feel like I'm keeping up with inflation the money that 30 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.519 I have in savings. And I think there's a couple 31 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.040 reasons for that. One is which there are a lot 32 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.159 of people who are whose savings are not keeping up 33 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.599 with inflation because they're with one of the giant banks 34 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.879 and they're getting paid zero point zero one percent on 35 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.640 their savings account, whereas they could migrate elsewhere and get 36 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.920 paid north of four percent. And if you're getting paid 37 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.879 north of four percent, your savings actually is outpacing inflation. 38 00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:57.920 But yeah, if you're with the wrong bank, you're not 39 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.280 out pacing in plation. So I do think there's truth 40 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:01.680 a lot of people are saying I don't feel like 41 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:03.640 my savings is keeping up, and it's not. But I 42 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.159 think the other thing is just kind of emotional, especially 43 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.439 when you see something like the cost of eggs and 44 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.919 it just continues to go up with the bird flu 45 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.919 and we've had trouble with egg price increases over the 46 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.680 last couple of years anyway, and you see stuff like that, 47 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:18.680 or it feels like things are still getting more expensive 48 00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.280 even though prices are moderating, and I think some of 49 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.240 that is just still kind of vibes. 50 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.479 Yeah, the egg thing is kind of insane. 51 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.800 Yesterday I went to the store. I do the shopping, 52 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.520 and one of the things about my lady Lindsey is 53 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:40.360 she's into healthy eggs. Healthy for the chicken eggs, halfy healthy, 54 00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:45.319 non caged, you know, running around, pasture free or whatever 55 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:45.919 the hell it was. 56 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:47.879 I cattle more. 57 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.280 Pardon, I said, those costs even more. 58 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:52.879 Oh, you have no idea. 59 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.680 So I'm looking at the egg aisle, you know, the 60 00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.719 little that refrigerator section. We have eggs in a big 61 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.400 song saying we apologize for shortage of eggs. We have 62 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:08.039 no control and their supply side problems here supply chain 63 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:09.680 because we know the A flew. 64 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:16.840 So the eggs, those cage free, pasture eggs, chickens. 65 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:18.919 I don't even know what they call those running around chickens. 66 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.400 It was for a dozen eggs, seventeen dollars. 67 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:25.439 You're kidding, No, I'm not. 68 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:31.159 Those were the high end eggs, you know, they literally are. 69 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.360 I don't know, Kipster whatever the hell, or Happy Eggs 70 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.000 is another brand they have where they don't cage the 71 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.680 chickens at all, and so I end up bar It 72 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:43.960 was just, oh, it was insanity. 73 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.680 It was insanity with the prices. 74 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:51.360 So I ended up buying the cheap eggs, eighteen of them, 75 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.639 the cheap o creepo ones where they keep the chickens 76 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.479 in cages and they don't move around and it's horrific. 77 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:03.960 But that was fourteen bucks for eighteen ages. Yeah, I know, 78 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.960 it was insanity. It was insanity, all right. Back we 79 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.719 go to the savings issue and one of the things 80 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.840 I'm with Chase Bank and I remodeled my house, so 81 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.160 I had money going to my checking account because it 82 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.759 remodels are insanely expensive. And my banker said, don't keep 83 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.199 the money in that checking account. We can put it 84 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.560 in in one day. You keep it into our money 85 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.720 market account. And there's my four and a half percent. 86 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:34.519 And it was my banker at Chase suggested that, so 87 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.720 to save me money. Of course he got fired immediately 88 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.600 because they love the fact that they rt me off. 89 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:44.160 But let's talk about doing as much savings as you can. 90 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.920 The highest interest rate you can within your bank. 91 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.680 Yeah, So I think that's a really important thing to 92 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.800 mention is that some of these banks do have other 93 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.399 ways for you to get higher rates. First, you're just 94 00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.000 in their basic savings account that you look at online. 95 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.920 They might you might see oh, the point zero one percent, 96 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.639 but maybe there are other products and there might be 97 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.879 like you mentioned, money market accounts, Like let's say somebody 98 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.399 has an account with Fidelity and they have a lot 99 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.680 of do a lot of they're investing there or Vanguard. 100 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.360 There are money market funds that you can that you 101 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.160 can stick your your cash in that you want to 102 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:22.240 stay liquid and you're going to earn in that kind 103 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.319 of four point three ish percent range right now. So 104 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:26.920 you can go with a highlod Savans acount, you can 105 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.360 go with a money market account. And some of these 106 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.040 online banks that I love, those rates have gone down some, 107 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:34.800 but guess what, they're still higher than the point zero 108 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.079 one I guess That's what I want to stress is 109 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.920 if you have a decent chunk of cash lying around, 110 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:41.959 you don't necessarily need to go to a CD and 111 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.079 lock that money up. You just need to migrate to 112 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:45.839 a high old Savans account. And I don't want people, 113 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.959 you know, jumping to score an extra point one or 114 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.279 point two percent. But if we're going from literally getting 115 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.240 paid nothing on your money to getting paid something meaningful 116 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.639 four plus percent, you will outpace inplation. And your money 117 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.319 isn't like every day that your money is sinning in 118 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.720 an account that's turning two point zero one percent, your 119 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.000 money is losing buying power. So that's why I just 120 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.160 want people to do something at least that's not harming 121 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:10.600 them actively harming their finances. 122 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.839 Let's just say, take a quick visit about the warning 123 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:15.639 that you always get the disclaimer. You put it in 124 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.759 a money market account, you put it into one of 125 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:22.120 these broker's accounts that is not ensured by the government. 126 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:22.959 How important is that. 127 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.240 That's true? I mean, I don't think it's terribly important. 128 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.519 I do like FDIC insurance, but I don't know that 129 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.279 it's crucial, right, I think the biggest thing I want 130 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.839 people to avoid there are some something known as neobanks, 131 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.040 and they're popping up all over the place, and there's 132 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.560 these fintech startups and they're backed by other banks, and 133 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.959 there have been some issues in the neobank space in 134 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.120 recent months where some of them have kind of shut down, 135 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.959 or some of the people who are who are banking 136 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:54.240 with some of these little upstarts. They sound great and 137 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.040 they've got these great perks, and hey, maybe you're going 138 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:57.959 to get access to your paycheck early and maybe the 139 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.439 rate so they're paying is significant. But they're not actual banks. 140 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.319 They're just kind of backed by this random other bank, 141 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:06.759 and so they save their FDIC insured. But when you 142 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.120 try to get your money back as the fintech goes bus, 143 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.519 you're kind of trying to claw back and you don't 144 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:14.560 know which institution to reach out to, and so some 145 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.879 people have been in limbo for months and months and 146 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.480 months trying to figure out how how am I going 147 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.839 to get access to this money, even though it's technically 148 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.240 FDIC insured. So if you're going to go with an 149 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.439 online bank, don't go with a neo bank, go with 150 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.759 an actual online bank. And so some of my favorites 151 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:32.600 are like Discover c t ally, those are actual online 152 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.319 banks and they are you know, money that you have 153 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.639 in savings there is backed up by the FDIC, So 154 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.319 I do like having your liquid savings there, and just 155 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.079 sometimes it's just easier to have a savings account. So 156 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.319 again I think I think Hoyo savings accounts are the 157 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:45.639 way to go. 158 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.680 Okay, let's take a break. Ready to come back. We've 159 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:50.800 got more to talk about. 160 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.680 And that's assuming that President Trump does not start his 161 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:55.439 press conference. 162 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.920 We'll be right back with Joel. You're listening to Bill 163 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.279 Handle on demand and from KFI am six forty. 164 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.399 President is still speaking. One of the things about President 165 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.279 Trump is he does not give short, short press conferences. 166 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:18.040 And I pulled away from the press conference because earlier, 167 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.360 as he started, it was about the crash in Washington, 168 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:29.040 that aircraft, civilian aircraft crashing with a military helicopter. It 169 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.120 was a mid air collision. Of course, everybody died, sixty 170 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:32.440 four people. He was talking about that. 171 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:34.039 Which is his job. 172 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.080 I don't know if he's gone beyond that, because I'm 173 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:37.320 going for the rest of the show. Amy. 174 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.639 Have you been following along. 175 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:41.919 And have I. 176 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:44.960 Did I do it wrong in pulling away? 177 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:46.399 Have you gotten any new information? 178 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:51.120 No, he hasn't really given out any new information except 179 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:54.759 he did say that his FAA is going to be 180 00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:00.120 better and criticize the DEI policies of previous administrations. 181 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:02.480 Because that's what because it's a DEI. 182 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:08.519 Air traffic control system and certainly a DEI American airline 183 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.440 system and the helicopter pilots. I guess we're part of 184 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.600 a DEI program. Okay, go figure now before I get 185 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.159 to Valentine, and I'll tell you about that in our 186 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.679 last segment. And he's with my FM and there's a big, 187 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:26.919 big iHeart concert going on a little bit about RFK 188 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:31.200 because I was looking forward to Robert Kennedy's first confirmation hearing, 189 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:31.639 and he. 190 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.480 Did not disappoint He did not. 191 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.039 First of all, he's going to get every Republican, virtually 192 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.279 a Republican he's going to get confirmed, because at this point, 193 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.600 it doesn't matter who President Trump puts in front of 194 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:49.039 the Senate to confirm a nomination, that person is going 195 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:49.440 to get it. 196 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:51.960 Kennedy is one of the more. 197 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:57.480 Not questionable. But yeah, let's say now, I'll say questionable, 198 00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:04.919 interesting certainly, maybe controversial. And that's because number one, he's 199 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.480 a conspiracy theorist and he's anti vax Now he said 200 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:13.200 he wasn't He deflected his brains off yesterday. By the 201 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:14.639 way I sort of made fun of him and the 202 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.519 way he speaks. That was not fair. He has a 203 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:23.879 medical condition called spasmodic dysphonia, certain muscles in his larynx spasm. 204 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.080 So it's not fair for me to have said that, 205 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.200 But it is difficult to understand him in many cases. Okay, Now, 206 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:38.879 the Republicans love him because he's a Trump nominee. Tillis, 207 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.480 Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina said, I think you're 208 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.080 handling yourself very well. Okay, fair enough. When talking to 209 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.000 and asked, are you a conspiracy theorist? Kennedy said, no, 210 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.480 that's a pejorative that had been applied to him. Of 211 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.000 course not, And I'm being accused of that mainly to 212 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:02.200 keep me from asking difficult questions powerful interests, even though 213 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:06.320 he's a straight out conspiracy theorist, or certainly has been. 214 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.240 The other Republican Todd Young of Indiana. 215 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:16.039 Will you work to restore public trust in public health institution? 216 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.799 Kennedy said, I will through radical transparency. 217 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:20.919 Don't know what that means. 218 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:22.480 Now. 219 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.240 The one Republican who he had some issue with, Senator 220 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.080 Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, chairman of the Senate Health Committee. 221 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.759 He's a doctor and he's looking at. 222 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.919 This going wait a minute, now, there's more to this 223 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:39.519 than just Trump nominates, and I confirm. One of the 224 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.759 questions that he asked is about Medicare and Medicaid, and 225 00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.919 Kennedy was sort of mixed the two up. 226 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.399 Medicare is for everybody over sixty five. Medicaid is that 227 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:53.879 covers low income people. 228 00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:00.679 And when Cassidy asked him, how would you invest how 229 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.559 would you integrate the two programs? How would you do it? 230 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.080 Kennedy said, I don't know the answer to that. I 231 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:10.799 look forward to exploring options with you. Another point, he 232 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.000 said of Medicaid, the premiums are too high, deductibles are 233 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.879 too high, and everybody's getting sicker, except that Medicaid people 234 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:18.759 don't pay a dime. 235 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:21.720 There are no deductibles, there are no premiums. As for 236 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:26.039 four people, you know what as for poor people? You 237 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:26.960 give him a break on that. 238 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.720 I don't know how big a deal that is, because 239 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.720 you can't expect the nominee to know everything, and you 240 00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:36.759 would expect Cassidy, who's a doctor, to know a lot more. 241 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:43.600 But it is his vactinet vaccine skepticism, skepticism. Kennedy's that 242 00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.519 just that's going to be the big one, and the 243 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:52.360 Democrats just keep on nailing him and asking Kennedy's past 244 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.960 statements pushed him hard, including abortion, because he was pro 245 00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:01.200 abortion when he was running for president and he was 246 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.200 pro abortion and all of a sudden, now no, I'm 247 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:08.679 not pro abortion. I believe in what President Trump is 248 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:10.600 that every abortion is a tragedy. 249 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:15.639 Are you you've switched all over the place, mister Kennedy, yes, no, 250 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.919 which no? A Republican senator asked, which one? I believe 251 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.679 that every abortion is a tragedy? 252 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:32.399 Okay, good enough, and then Senator Michael Bennett, Democratic Colorado brought. 253 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:34.919 Up Kennedy's statements. Claimed he has. 254 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:39.240 Said COVID was targeted to attack Caucasians and black people 255 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:41.480 to spare Chinese people. 256 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:42.679 And Ashkenazi Jews. 257 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.039 That's really weird because the only issue, the only connection 258 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:52.240 between Chinese people and Askanaji Jews Christmas or on Yum Kippur, 259 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:55.080 where Ashkaranazi Jews go to Chinese restaurants. I mean, that's it. 260 00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.440 And Kennedy said line disease was highly likely to be 261 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:02.360 an engineered bioweapon. 262 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.600 Kennedy was asked, outright, did you say that he goes? 263 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:08.960 I probably did. 264 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:13.360 Say that, and then the Republicans sleft that one right over. 265 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.759 I forgot which the Republican. I wish I had the name, 266 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:18.919 because I was so stunned that I didn't even pay 267 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:24.399 attention to the name during the questioning period, said of Kennedy, 268 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:31.879 Kennedy was put here by God to run our healthcare system. 269 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.440 I think here's the problem with by God. Everybody you know, 270 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.559 He's always been put whoever it is, put here by God. 271 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.399 Let me tell you, folks that think that God puts 272 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:45.279 people in place. 273 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:51.759 God is too busy watching football games during football season. Okay, 274 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.480 every team prays to God and the winner, well, God 275 00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:03.120 like that team better that week. I have a tough 276 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:06.440 time with people being put here by God to do 277 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:10.240 a B, C, D or E.
